Kelley Shane, a grade 9 student at St. Joes, is
an avid basketball player. In fact, she gave up
hockey after two years of playing against boys
to focus on her favourite sport. As a grade 9
student, this is her first year playing ball for

the Panthers’ junior girls team, and according
to her coach, Jack Chisholm, she’s a natural.
This year, she’s sharing point guard duties with a more experienced player.
To be fair, Kelley isn’t a rookie. She’s been honing her skills on the court
with the Lions travelling team for three years and had been playing for

five.
‘I like the teamwork in basketball,” she says, “and basketball is a sport
I’ve always enjoyed.”
